Last Christmas card for this year....

Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a healthy New Year!  And, I've one last Christmas card to show you.


A clean and simple card design where the image steals the show!  Today I've used another Christmas image from Just Inklined called Poinsettia Label.  Although the flowers have been coloured with copics, you'll see I've coloured over part of the sentiment with glitter pen and all of the scroll work with gold metallic pen.  You need quite the steady hand for this, but the nice shiny result was well worth the effort.

It was nasty cold outside today, and I'd just love to hibernate inside until spring!  The weather man was wrong again, and we've even got a white Christmas (bah, humbug!).  I've never been a winter person or a fan of cold weather!  So, thanks again for visiting and let's hope we can all stay warm and toasty.
